Job finishes but status doesn't change / SQLagentCMDexec

[ucinv]

I'm having problems with running jobs on SQL Server 7. They seem to run and finish just fine, but the status always says 'Executing Job Step 1 (Step 1)'. I can't seem to find any problems in the server's event viewer log nor the errlog or the sqlagent.out files. I think maybe SQLagentCMDexec doesnt have sufficient permissions, what permissions should SQLagentCMDexec have?

I found that my service startup account in the SQL server agent properties was not set properly. It was set for localsystem but was fixed by changing it to mydomain\mysqlserver. Now everything works normally.
